Management Report

The Group's unaudited consolidated net turnover for the second quarter (Q2) of the 2024/2025 financial year (FY) amounted to EUR 7.04 million, showing a 21% decrease compared to the same period in FY 2023/2024.

The turnover of the North America and Latin America region amounted to 60%, or EUR 4.2 million. Compared to the same quarter of the previous financial year, the turnover has decreased by 22%.

The European region accounted for 36% of the turnover, or EUR 2.5 million, which is 18% less than in the second quarter of the previous financial year. Turnover in the Asia, Africa, and Middle East region has decreased by 35% compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year, accounting for 4% of the total quarterly turnover (or EUR 314 thousand). As noted in previous reports, fluctuations in quarterly turnover are influenced by the completion of individual projects. Furthermore, Q2 of the previous financial year was the best-performing quarter of FY 2023/2024.

Comparative charts of Q2 sales volumes by regions:

For the six months of the 2024/2025 financial year, the Group's unaudited consolidated turnover was EUR 15.57 million, representing a 9% increase compared to the revenue of the previous financial year.

Over a 6-month period, revenues in North and Latin Americas represented 58% of the total turnover of the Group and amounted to EUR 9 million, thus showing a 5% increase compared to the result of the six months of the previous financial year. 38% of the total turnover comes from revenues generated in European countries, which increased by 28% against 6 months of the previous

year and amount to EUR 5.9 million. Revenue from the Asia, Africa and the Middle East region declined by 38%, accounting for 5% of the Group's total turnover.

Charts comparing the sales volume distribution by region for the 6-month period:

The Group's expenses did not exceed the amounts planned in the budget. The Group continues to invest in the development of new, promising products and product modifications, as well as in sales promotion across existing and new market segments.

The Group closed the second quarter of the 2024/2025 financial year with a profit of EUR 228 thousand (unaudited). The result of Q2 of the previous year was a profit of EUR 523 thousand.

The consolidated unaudited result for the first six months of the 2024/2025 financial year is a profit of EUR 1.04 million. The Group's result for the six months of the 2023/2024 financial year was a loss of EUR 950 thousand.

The Group's operations were affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. During the previous period, the company accumulated material reserves to be able to fulfill the majority of orders, ensuring short, or customer-expected, delivery times. Delivery times have continued to improve recently.

The Group's net cash flow for the six months of the financial year is EUR 1 million. The Group's cash balance in the balance sheet at the end of the period was EUR 4 million.

To ensure liquidity, the Parent Company has a Credit Line Agreement with Luminor Bank AS for a total amount of EUR 4.95 million, which had not been utilized at the end of the reporting period.

In Q2 of the 2024/2025 financial year, EUR 144 thousand were invested in the purchase of fixed assets – primarily to support production and testing processes, as well as for the acquisition of office equipment. Investments in the renovation of the premises are ongoing.

Market Overview

During the quarter, there were no major changes in the microwave radio market. We believe that significant and rapid changes in the microwave radio market are not expected in the near future. SAF regularly collaborates and works with all clients and partners to proactively identify and mitigate risks, as well as explore new opportunities.

The Group has no clients or suppliers in the region affected by armed conflict (Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus); therefore, no impact on order volumes has been observed.

Guidelines

SAF Tehnika is a company with extensive experience and expertise in the development and production of microwave links.

Although the hostilities in Ukraine do not directly impact the Group's operations, overall uncertainty in the business environment persists. The Group continues to monitor potential cost increase forecasts and evaluate associated risks. The company regularly reviews procurement volumes and timelines, ensuring sufficient material reserves to fulfill most orders within standard lead times. This applies to all SAF product families: microwave links, spectrum analyzers, and Internet of Things (IoT).

Even with the modernization of the telecommunications market toward fiber optic communications, there is still a strong demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data rates. Therefore, the Group continues to actively research the market and identify key issues in order to propose necessary product modifications and develop prototypes for next-generation technologies. At the same time, the Group develops IoT solutions for both business and consumer segments, diversifying its product line, creating higher added value for SAF Tehnika product offerings, and increasing the Group's revenue.

The company's goal is to stabilize turnover to ensure a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika remains cautious and refrains from providing specific sales and performance forecasts.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group had 264 employees (276 employees as of December 31, 2023).
